LULISANDLA KUMNTWANA NEEDS

When Notobeko was asked what had kept her deal with the anger and pain of losing her mother to AIDS, she quickly responded about how attending Lulisandla Kuntwana workshops had helped her through it. She was able to complete school, pass her final matric exam and is now studying on a diploma course at further education training college. Lulisandla Kumntwana continues to help young people like Nontobeko through psycho-social support workshops. The challenge we are facing at the moment is that, while there are funds for the actual programmes, like the after school clubs, HIV support groups for teens, foster parent training workshops and the psycho-social support workshops, funding for the staff who run these programmes is falling short, and we are at the point where we may have to cut staff and so will not be able to run the programs.
